5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book, December 1, 2011

This review is from: Percy and Harold (Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) (Hardcover)

i bought this at my local Thrifty Shopper for, like, 50 cents just yesterday at like, 5:45 p.m., and this is a really great book. it's the original Rev. W. Awdry stories combined with images from the TV series. this book contains the stories Percy and Harold and Percy Takes the Plunge. actually, i have it sitting right next to me right now! it's a really great book and, yes, they call Sir Topham Hatt the Fat Controller, freight cars trucks, and the conductor the guard. but still good nonetheless!

2.0 out of 5 stars mean spirited book - the only Thomas we disliked so far, April 30, 2007

This review is from: Percy and Harold (Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends) (Hardcover)

This book is a UK edition and we didn't like it because it calls Sir Topham Hat the "Fat Controller" - it's more meanspirited than the other Thomas books we have and we ended up tossing it, because we didn't like its message. Some Thomas books are more fun to read than others (eg Thomas and the Shooting Star, Down at the Docks are fun, Go Train Go gets hard to read over and over sometimes), but this was the only one that didn't work for us.
